It features ratio control, sidechain high-pass filter, adjustable attack and release settings, and a blend function, making it an essential tool for bassists seeking to enhance their sound and dynamic range. ## Description Meet Your New Comprehensive Bass Compressor Pedal The ultra-fat yet articulate bass sounds of your favorite recordings can be a challenge to replicate live. Sculpted studio sounds owe a good chunk of their essence to outboard compressors — rackmounted units that typically carry hefty price tags. The boutique builders at Origin Effects place comparable studio-grade compression at your feet with the pedalboard-friendly Cali76 Bass compressor pedal! Based on an iconic FET compressor and freshly re-tooled for greater headroom, the Cali76 offers comprehensive parameters, including Input and Output level controls, Ratio, and Attack/Release. Additionally, Sweetwater bassists find the sidechain highpass filter compresses highs while leaving lower frequencies untouched, an excellent way to tame transients while retaining a thick bottom end. The invaluable Dry blend knob enables you to hit the compressor hard to beef up your mids and add sustain, then fold it under the uncompressed signal to keep your dynamics Review: Sounds incredible - Best compressor out there for bass. Review: Yes It's Better than the BC-1X - I bought the Cali76 and the Boss BC-1X so that I could compare them. I was thinking (and hoping) I would find a small enough variance between the two ("the Cali76 can't be THAT much better) that I could return the Cali76 and save almost $200. I returned the BC-1X. Too be clear this was a personal fit, as I definitely think the BC-1X could make sense for some people; it does sound good and is almost half the price. However, the blending and combined features of the Cali76 were too good for me to do without; it's objectively much better than the BC-1X. One issue I had with the Boss pedal is that when playing live, when I lowered the threshold so I could get application of the effect on almost every note, it turned my volume way down, so I had to turn up the guitar and other effects more to compensate. The Cali76 addresses this issue with a combined "input" knob. As you turn it "up" it both increases the input and lowers the threshold. So with that one, the opposite effect happened as with the Boss: as you lower the threshold (by increasing input), the overall volume goes up. And lest that concern you, there's also an output function that allows you to dial back the volume if it's too much (e.g., if you're trying to have the same volume when engaged and in bypass. I also love the Dry and High Bypass Filter knobs, which allow for blending overall dynamics and low frequencies, respectively. I like a little bit of blend on the dry function (a touch of uncompressed signal) and keep the HBF pretty high, which really allows for those nice bass tones to come through. Other reviewers have talked about the attack/release option, which is another great feature. I keep that one turned all the way up (slow attach/quick release), which gives the sound really nice "pop." These features are why I love the Cali76, and it sounds amazing. While the BC-1X sounds good and may be a great pedal for some, you're basically missing out on all these super cool features, which for me make the difference. And it's worth the extra cash because otherwise it feels like I'm coming up short on what I need my compressor pedal to do for me. ## Features - FET-compressor Pedal for Electric Bass with Ratio - Sidechain HPF Controls - Classic - Attack/Release - Blend ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D2J1D9T6 | | Amperage | 100 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Compression | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,892 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #86 in Microphone Pop Filters | | Brand | Origin Effects | | Brand Name | Origin Effects | | Color | Silver | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch audio | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 27 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Item Dimensions | 5.25 x 3.5 x 3.45 inches | | Item Weight | 1.34 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Origin Effects | | Manufacturer Part Number | OEX-0046-00 | | Model Name | Cali76 Bass Compressor | | Model Number | Cali76 Bass Compressor | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Style | Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm | | UPC | 796554970646 | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 2-year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Origin Effects - **Style:** Guitar pedal - **Color:** Brushed alumium - **Product Dimensions:** 5.5"L x 2.6"W x 2.2"H - **Item Weight:** 1.3 Pounds ## Images ![Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Pedal - Classic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CAXPLzqDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds incredible *by L***G on May 11, 2025* Best compressor out there for bass. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes It's Better than the BC-1X *by S***G on September 29, 2025* I bought the Cali76 and the Boss BC-1X so that I could compare them.
